Apache Spark 2.x Cookbook

Developing Applications with Spark

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Exploring the Spark shell
  • Developing a Spark applications in Eclipse with Maven
  • Developing a Spark applications in Eclipse with SBT
  • Developing a Spark application in IntelliJ IDEA with Maven
  • Developing a Spark application in IntelliJ IDEA with SBT
  • Developing applications using the Zeppelin notebook
  • Setting up Kerberos to do authentication
  • Enabling Kerberos authentication for Spark

Introduction

Before we start this chapter, it is important that we discuss some trends that directly affect how we develop applications. 

Big data applications can be divided into the following three categories:

  • Batch
  • Interactive
  • Streaming or continuous applications

When Hadoop was designed, the primary focus was to provide cost-effective storage for large amounts of data. This remained the main show until it was upended by S3 and other cheaper and more reliable cloud storage alternatives. Compute on this large amounts of data in the Hadoop environment was primarily in the form of MapReduce jobs. Since Spark took the ball from Hadoop (OK! Snatched!) and started running with it, Spark also reflected batch orientation focus in the initial phase, but it did a better job than Hadoop in the case of exploiting in-memory storage. 

The most compelling factor of the success of Hadoop was that the cost of storage...

Exploring the Spark shell

Spark comes bundled with a read–eval–print loop (REPL) shell, which is a wrapper around the Scala shell. Though the Spark shell looks like a command line for simple things, in reality, a lot of complex queries can also be executed using it. A lot of times, the Spark shell is used in the initial development phase and once the code is stabilized, it is written as a class file and bundled as a jar to be run using spark-submit flag. This chapter explores different development environments in which Spark applications can be developed.

How to do it...

Hadoop MapReduce's word count, which takes at least three class files and one configuration file, namely project object model (POM), becomes very simple...

Key benefits

  • Contains quick solutions to solving even the most complex Big Data processing problems using Apache Spark
  • Leverage the power of Apache Spark as a unified compute engine and perform streaming analytics, machine learning and graph processing with ease
  • From installing and setting up Spark to fine-tuning its performance, this practical guide is all you need to become a master in using Apache Spark

Description

While Apache Spark 1.x gained a lot of traction and adoption in the early years, Spark 2.x delivers notable improvements in the areas of API, schema awareness, Performance, Structured Streaming, and simplifying building blocks to build better, faster, smarter, and more accessible big data applications. This book uncovers all these features in the form of structured recipes to analyze and mature large and complex sets of data. Starting with installing and configuring Apache Spark with various cluster managers, you will learn to set up development environments. Further on, you will be introduced to working with RDDs, DataFrames and Datasets to operate on schema aware data, and real-time streaming with various sources such as Twitter Stream and Apache Kafka. You will also work through recipes on machine learning, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning & recommendation engines in Spark. Last but not least, the final few chapters delve deeper into the concepts of graph processing using GraphX, securing your implementations, cluster optimization, and troubleshooting.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data engineers, data scientists, and Big Data professionals who want to leverage the power of Apache Spark 2.x for real-time Big Data processing. If you’re looking for quick solutions to common problems while using Spark 2.x effectively, this book will also help you. The book assumes you have a basic knowledge of Scala as a programming language.

What you will learn

  • Install and configure Apache Spark with various cluster managers & on AWS
  • Set up a development environment for Apache Spark including Databricks Cloud notebook
  • Find out how to operate on data in Spark with schemas
  • Get to grips with real-time streaming analytics using Spark Streaming & Structured Streaming
  • Master supervised learning and unsupervised learning using MLlib
  • Build a recommendation engine using MLlib
  • Graph processing using GraphX and GraphFrames libraries
  • Develop a set of common applications or project types, and solutions that solve complex big data problems

I wanted to get a better understanding of graph processing and I was directed to this book. It answered alot of questions that I had, and it informed me on other areas that I needed to know. Its a great blueprint for people who work in this field. Very informative

Not bad- but needs editing. I have the print version - there are duplicate sentences in paragraphs that obviously should have been removed.Other than that, this is a decent reference and a good introductory book. It is not deep as regards Data Science (but perhaps it is not meant to be).

Compared with other "Cookbook": No depth. More like an introduction concept book.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
